Jezeršek Catering marks its expansion with a spectacular evening at Taggenbrunn Castle

When top-class cuisine meets a historic backdrop, the result is nothing short of magical. In the majestic surroundings of Taggenbrunn Castle, Jezeršek Catering marked a major milestone: its expansion into Austria and its successful partnership with the Riedl family, founders of the renowned Jacques Lemans brand.

This strategic partnership not only established a new culinary destination at Taggenbrunn Castle, but also signalled Jezeršek Catering’s bold entrance into Austria’s premium catering and high-end events market. In the company of distinguished guests from the worlds of business, tourism and sport – including Walter Wolf, Christoph Kulterer, Karin Bernhard, Krystyna Schreiber, Peter Prevc and Monika Avsenik – Jezeršek Catering delivered a clear message: when passion meets excellence, borders disappear.

A night to remember: a symphony of senses

The evening was more than just an event – it was an exciting multisensory experience that transported guests into the heart of Jezeršek Catering’s world. Guests were treated to a gastronomic adventure, where each dish was a testament to the team’s dedication, passion and expertise. Paired with an artfully designed programme that fused tradition with contemporary innovation, the evening exuded a captivating international energy, leaving guests in awe and wonder. The stage at Taggenbrunn Castle became a breathtaking setting, where every moment was filled with excitement and surprise.

Two visions, one shared goal for Taggenbrunn

The partnership between two esteemed family-run businesses, Jezeršek Catering and the Riedl family – owners of the iconic Taggenbrunn Castle & Winery – marks in a new era for this exceptional destination. Through this strategic partnership, Jezeršek Catering takes on the culinary stewardship of the castle and its 4-star boutique hotel, while also overseeing the organisation of high-profile events.

"Our vision is not only to elevate Taggenbrunn Castle & Winery into a premier destination with a world-class restaurant but to position it as one of the leading event venues in the region. By partnering with Jezeršek Catering, we have found the ideal partner to bring this vision to life at the highest level," says Alfred Riedl, owner of the castle and founder of the renowned Jacques Lemans brand.

Martin Jezeršek, Managing Director of Jezeršek Catering, adds: "Our partnership is built on more than just a shared passion and mutual respect for our craft. We are united by our commitment to innovation, responsibility and sustainability. The legacy of our families is already a story of success—and together, we are poised to write many more chapters."
